TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
On a related subject, if I'm viewing writing samples or looking at
somebody's resume on their Web site, I always look at the HTML source to
determine, if possible, how it was constructed. That is, many HTML tools
insert header information about the source tool that people fail to
remove. Furthermore, as everybody knows, if people save from MS Word
then they get lots of extra code.
Now, if someone lists HTML amongst their skills, but their Web site was
all auto-magically created by MS FrontPage, should they receive strikes
against them? Am I a big tool snob if I think they should author these
pages by hand (particularly as most portfolio/resume sites are pretty
straight forward)? Just a thought. I'm far more ambivalent about this
issue, probably because it hasn't occurred very often. Thanks. DB.
